Episode Seventy-four - The Pro Wrestling Episode, with special guest Zach Thompson!

Summary: Ooh, yeah! Get ready for some top rope splashes and cradle suplexes, that limousine ridin’, jet flyin’, kiss stealin’, wheelin' dealin,' son of a gun Zach Thompson dropped by the Revival League Studio to talk all things pro wrestling! Zach, who plays Bonehead #2 (Ricky) in the new season of “Mystery Science Theater 3000,” is a wrestling announcer in his hometown of Chicago. (And he’s not even the only wrestling announcer involved in MST3K!) Zach talks about his behind-the-scenes experiences on the Watch Out For Snakes Tour. And lifelong wrestling fans James and Zach chokeslam the Hulk Hogan cheesefest flick, “No Holds Barred.” Meanwhile, Babyface Greg curb stomps a giant snail invasion infesting Florida, and everyone admires the forearm smashes and head butt drops of “Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling,” Netflix’s new series. In the Mini-Soda Review, Greg serves up some stone cold Rowdy Roddy Piper All Out of Bubblegum Soda, and the gang praises “They Live!” Somewhere in there, Zach and Greg take a Very Adamant Stance against the silly names given to fandoms, and butcher the theme song to “Cheers.” All this, and Lou Albano getting whacked repeatedly by Cyndi Lauper’s Loaded Purse of Doom, on this week’s episode of the Revival League Podcast!
